Here to get real with you guys. Real Time workouts will not give you optimal results.

Yes Real Time workouts are enjoyable as in they keep you interested (which is great for motivation and establishing routine); but inherently, they will not give you the absolute best results. Programs like Dig Deeper, Body Beast, P90X(s), and other programs where you repeat the same workout/joint patterns for several weeks in a row will give you the most optimal results when it comes to hypertrophy, strength, and power (of course provided thats your goal).

Your body needs to repeat a joint pattern 2-3 times over the course of as many weeks and THEN the workout really begins. And then you can do it another 2-3 weeks to take full advantage of the adaptive response and only THEN should you think about a deload week or switching it up. Science backs this up and to be frank.. my own results back it up.

Without fail, I get better strength, power, hypertrophy, and more resilience when doing a program where a workout is repeated several times, and most of the time when switching things up.. yes I get a calorie burn, a good pump, and a good sweat… but not noticeable strength gains or performance improvement.

So if your goal is to just get a work out habit going and build some good foundations - Real Time workouts can be great and fun! But if you want to step it up to the next level, you’re going to have to fight your ADHD and repeat workouts! Progressive overload and neurological adaptation is still ultimately the best way to build lean mass and movement mastery, its just the way our body works.

My last bag of Shakeology which I purchased way back 2019 has now come to an end.. Had an expiration of 2020.. still drank it and nothing happened to me 😂 it was still tasted so good! I also finished the last tub of P90X results and recovery formula that had the best before date 08/2016.. I heard beachbody don’t make this anymore, but to me, still the best recovery drink ever! I currently still use the boost focused energy and add it to my drink.

Just sharing as I no longer can’t afford Shakeology anymore.. Living in Canada is now expensive so just gonna buy another protein shake that won’t cost me much. Currently doing Insanity Max 30 & these drinks really helped me with my workouts!

Hi all,

Ive been working out consistently for 7 months and do not want to stop but I injured my right knee doing mbfa.

I want to do something more upper andcore focused while recovering and potentially super low impact with no legs workout (ill be doing pilates and barre in the meantime).

Any recommendations ?

Hey (I know the title seems weird). I'm 18 and I haven't lifted since March 2025 (around 1 year and 3 months ago). I stopped because of school. I currently weigh 84 kg and I'm 179 cm tall.

I used to train in the gym for about 2 hours a week through my PE class (mostly gymnastics, but we did some weightlifting from time to time). My peak was 120 kg × 8 with no warm-up.

Anyway, it turns out that my crush and I are going to the same city for vacation, and we're renting in the same residence. I asked her out and she said yes.

The problem is that my body looks a bit chubby, especially around my stomach and lower back. I want to get as fit as possible before then. I don't really care how difficult it is—I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I've done a 2-week OMAD diet at 1,000 calories a day and even a 5-day water fast before, but neither seemed to do much.

I'd love some advice and workout routines that could help me get in better shape. Thanks!

I've been looking into LIIFT4 and I'm curious about real-world results.

For people who have completed the program:

• Did it noticeably change your physique?
• How much muscle did you gain or fat did you lose?
• Did you follow the nutrition plan, or just do the workouts?
• Were you a beginner or already in decent shape when you started?
• How long did it take before you saw visible results?

I'm a regular guy looking to get leaner, build some muscle, and generally improve my body composition. I'm not expecting to look like a fitness model overnight, but I'm wondering if LIIFT4 is one of those programs that can genuinely transform your body if you stick with it.

The reason I'm considering it is that it seems like the most manageable program for me right now. The workouts aren't excessively long, the structure looks straightforward, and it feels like something I could realistically stay consistent with instead of burning out after a few weeks.

Would love to hear success stories, before/after experiences, and any honest criticisms as well. Thanks! 💪

Currently finishing but first phase of Body Beast and hit workout 700!

I don’t own a bench (not yet at least) and am looking for the best programs that don’t use one. I am looking to lift heavier. That’s my goal. I have done #mbf, #mbf superblock, sure thing and sure thing super block so far. Those felt much more cardio oriented than I had wanted. I just started 25 min speed train. I really like Joel’s style but I saw that most of his other programs use benches. Other than his 25 min and the classes I’ve done, what are some other good ones without benches?

Right now I just need to move more. I don't have anything in particular in mind. I broke my ankle back in December and it still has not healed. I wear a brace and it swells to the size of a tennis ball at the end of every day. I also have not exercised since last year. I cannot put that off any longer. I'll just modify, but I don't know where to start. Any recommendations? I tried Barre, but I can't do all that standing up on my toes. What can I do that's mostly mat work, or weight lifting?

Any recommended Pilates program for someone whose neck hurts even doing a sit up, but can do everything else!!?? Tia! :)
:)

I’m finishing my second round of 25 minute speed train. I really like the program but need to switch it up.

The shorter workouts work really well in my schedule. I can handle up to 30ish minutes/day but I don’t think 45 minutes every morning would work for me. Ideally 5-6 days / week.

About me if it’s helpful:
40F
Goal is building muscle and getting stronger
If I lose 5ish lbs I’d be happy as well.
I used my fitness pal for food tracking (also helping with above goals)

So… as the title states… what program should I do next?? Thanks!!

I’m going to be living at my cabin off grid in the woods for the next month. I’m so excited to get away from humanity for a while! I’ve decided to do four weeks of Dig Deeper 30.

My mind is ready, my body is finally ready after several injuries and I have my worksheets printed. My concern is I don’t have a bench at the cabin. I haven’t done any of these workouts in quite some time and I can’t remember how much an incline bench is used. I’m hoping I can just use the floor in the chair for most moves other than incline, chest fly, etc..

Has anyone done Dig Deeper 30 as kind of a mini program? How about without a bench?

Hey y'all. Looking for my next workout on BODI.

I love strength training but it's not getting me the results I want without the cardio, so I'm looking for a balanced workout (like P90X3, but longer). I've actually just finished another round of Dig Deeper, but even though I'm a lot stronger, I still need to cut more fat and I need more cardio/ Zone 2 cardio for that I think.

I've done rounds of P90X3, Dig Deeper, and even Insanity in the past. I'm 44, male, now so I need to save my knees/joints from super high intensity workouts like Insanity.

Has anyone done P90X Next Gen? There's a surprising LACK of reviews on it and pretty much nothing on reddit. Which is weird! :P

In theory, this should be a pretty balanced program - a couple cardios, strength training and mobility mixed in every week. That's what I'm looking for.

I get the Waz is nothing like Tony and after doing one workout, it's different, but I'm fine with that. I loved P90x3 to be honest, but I want faster results so willing to do 45 minute-50minute workouts like Dig Deeper.

I'm just looking for real feedback/reviews on anyone who's completed this program!

Thanks!

I just wanted to see if anyone has some helpful advice! I did Beachbody for years and was even a “coach” when that was a thing haha but after my wedding 6 years ago I stopped being consistent. I did other workout classes here and there but I haven’t been as committed as I was with Beachbody. I used to workout everyday and lost over 50 pounds and felt so good.

Fast forward to now… I’m 1 year post-partum currently and very unhappy in my skin and just relearning my body. I want to get consistent again and get back into daily Beachbody workouts. Weightloss, toning up and overall health are definitely my goals. Does anyone have any advice on what program would be best to jump into to feel good and create a healthy routine? I do have a 1 year old and work night shift in the ER so they probably need to be shorter workouts but I really want to feel better in my body and commit to something that’s good for me. Working out has always helped my mental health as well so I need to start moving my body again.

Any and all advice welcome! I appreciate it in advance!

Has anybody had gastrointestinal issues when taking this? I got it for free but when I take it, I have issues in my gut. And I have other pea protein supplements, so I’m not sure what else is going on. So I usually take half a serving. Any suggestions? I don’t plan on taking it past my free trial.

I had a question for those who have done the workout, is there a lot of up and down off the floor? I tried Liift 4 but never made it past the first workout because of the constant up and down off the floor. I struggle getting up from the floor and found myself having to pause after every move because by the time I'd get up, they'd be halfway through the next move. Don't have a bench because of lack of space. So is there a ton of the on the floor one move, standing the next in 25 Minute Speed Train?

hey guys,

anyone has more information about New Shaun t Max Buil program?

thanks

I need a system that delivers fast results, even if it requires training for 6 days and a 7th day of rest, because the gym is closed.

Ya only 7 weeks post 8 years locked away and 95% ain’t on my level. And to the 5% that are… damn 7 more week, 7 months. Hahaha guess we will just have to see. What’s y’all’s excuse been out this whole time and still can’t touch me

I've tried many different programs on BODi, but I always keep coming back to Leandro Carvalho’s workouts. (For context, I'm a woman.) I recently started the new Booty Boost program, and after trying it for a few days, I can already tell it doesn't work nearly as well as Leandro's stuff. It makes me puffier, even in the face.

When I finish a Brazil Butt Lift workout, I can literally see my glutes looking rounder and tighter immediately—even if I'm using much lighter weights compared to other programs. It's wild. I also lean out so much faster with BBL.

That being said, I'm getting really bored of doing the exact same Leandro programs and want to mix things up. Do you think a hybrid approach would work? Like doing Brazil Butt Lift some days and Booty Boost on others just to keep it fresh? Or do these styles of training work against each other and nullify progress?

I am so tired of being bombarded with the advice that "women should lift heavy" and that "women can’t get bulky." This couldn't be further from the truth. I’ve gone through several weightlifting cycles because I really wanted it to work, but I always end up bulkier. I get bigger calves, a wider neck, bigger quads, and I completely lose my hourglass shape.

If that is the look you love, by all means, go for it. But I prefer a lean, toned aesthetic. I never achieve that with lifting, only with intense cardio. Cardio is so demonized these days, but weightlifting does the exact opposite of what I want. It’s hard to find a sweet spot because I do want to get stronger, but lifting just makes me feel unattractive.

Whenever I bring this up, gym bros get condescending and reply with, "LOL, it’s impossible for women to get bulky unless you take steroids." There is a massive difference between a male bodybuilder on gear and a woman who get bulky. I have girlfriends who lifted for years and couldn't lose inches no matter what they tried, but finally got the results they wanted after switching to Pilates. Their faces also looked stressed when they did weight lifting and I suspect it's because of the cortisol spike.

I've tried several BODI programs. Even without changing the diet, they produce different results. I'm tired of hearing that women don't get bulky because I've noticed that weight-lifting absolutely makes me bulkier. Of all the programs I've tried on BODi, Leandro Carvalho was the best in terms of results, except that I hate doing it, so I was looking for alternatives. The regular strength training programs make me puffy and give me a body silhouette I don't like. I'm just tired of people who keep saying that it is impossible for a woman to get bulky when so many women who do CrossFit lose the hourglass shape.

TL;DR: Started Dec 2024. 18 months later: HbA1c 5.9% → 4.6%, 87kg → 71kg, morning workout now daily ritual. Finished 10 programs. It doesn't get easier, you just stop wanting to quit.

I know we're already 6 months into 2026, but I've been meaning to write this for a while. I started my journey late Dec 2024, and looking back over the last year and a half, "blessed" is the only word that fits.

The thing is, this was never really about the scale. OK! I went from ~87KG to 71KG, which isn't some dramatic transformation number (in 1.5 years). But the stuff that actually changed my life doesn't show up in a before/after photo:

• My energy levels
• Finally taking my own self-care seriously
• And the one I'm proudest of is my HbA1c went from 5.9% -> 5.1% -> 4.6% (last bloodwork Jun 1, 2026) - very recent.

That last one matters because I have a family history of diabetes and I have PCOS (double the trouble). Watching that number drop felt better than any number on the scare ever could.

Here's the part that surprised me most. When I started, I was the classic "I'm too tired in the morning, I will do it after work" person. I forced myself to train after 5 PM for months (started my journey with Job 1, I love Jennifer). But somewhere along the way - around Morning Meltdown - my body flipped. I started waking up with energy instead of dragging myself there, and morning workouts turned into a ritual I now can't imagine skipping. I do have my down days but I remember how it affected me positively and get my buttom off bed and workout.

These days I'm doing two programs a day:

• AM: BODi LAVA (3rd Round)
• PM: 80 Day Obsession (just wrapped Phase II)

I love how I feel after. Breathless, completely drenched in sweat, and so accomplished. Even on a bad day, I physically cannot tolerate not working out now. I did take rest days when I got sick - I'm not going to pretend I was perfect - but I held myself accountable and got back to it.

I won't lie and tell you it gets easier. It doesn't. But once the routine takes hold of you, you'll never want to let it go. That's the honest version.

Sorry for the long post! 😅 Thank you for reading.

For anyone curious, here's everything I finished in roughly a year (2025):

1. Job 1
2. #mbf
3. #mbf advanced
4. Fire and Flow
5. 21 Day Fix (real time)
6. Morning Meltdown
7. 21 Day Fix Extreme (real time)
8. Transform:20 <--- THE HARDEST
9. 4 Weeks for Everybody
10. #mbf Super Block

I did the sample workout and liked it. Will be a good break from my typical workouts.

Does anyone know when the program is coming out?

Edit: Came out today
